Is Immutep (IMMP) stock Halal?

Immutep represents shares of Immutep Limited, a biotechnology company focused on developing immunotherapy treatments for cancer and autoimmune diseases. The company's primary aim is to harness and modulate the body's immune system to tackle tough medical challenges effectively. Immutep's research and development center largely around its proprietary LAG-3 technology, which is integral in enhancing immune responses. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Immutep stock Halal?

Is Immutep Shariah compliant?

The Shariah case on a technology company like Immutep is rarely about the product. What AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 examines is the money around the product: cash parked in instruments that earn Riba, borrowing measured against a market capitalisation that moves daily, and any incidental income from sources Islam prohibits, which must stay below 5% of revenue.

Does Immutep pass the business activity test?

The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Immutep currently fails the non-permissible income and interest-bearing investments screens, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. The watch item for technology names is incidental: cash returns and platform content can carry impermissible elements, which AAOIFI tolerates only below the thresholds.

Is Immutep's income Halal?

No. Immutep's income from impermissible sources currently exceeds AAOIFI's 5% revenue ceiling, which makes the stock non-compliant on this screen regardless of the others. The screen is reassessed monthly, so the status can change when new financial statements arrive.

Does Immutep meet AAOIFI's debt and investment ratio requirements?

Not in full. Interest bearing investments currently exceed the 30% cap, while the other ratio stays within it. One breach is enough to fail the screening; the ratios are reassessed monthly under our Shariah Supervisory Board.
